PIP install failing with Syntax error for library

Question

I am trying to install curator library for Lambda packaging using PIP3. For that i am running the command

pip3 install curator -t ./

I am getting the following error :

Is this really a syntax issue or PIP going nuts... I have already upgraded setuptools, pip3, etc. I have downloaded the library and removed the entire except block as well. If there is a way to use that library, I am all for it... Any ideas?

Try this:

pip3 install elasticsearch-curator
